Improvement of Astatikopsia (Riddoch's phenomenon) after correction of vertebral stenoses with angioplasty

چکیده
Visual perception disorder detection may be challenging with several dozen different syndromes identifiable. These may range from hypofunction to hyperfunction in the topological as well as hodological dimensions of cerebral structure. We report here a case of a 61-year-old white man presented with dizziness and visual impairment.

Preliminary results of intracranial angioplasty for vascular stenosis caused by atherosclerosis and vasculitis.
PURPOSE To evaluate the results of balloon angioplasty of 17 stenoses resulting from intracranial atherosclerosis and vasculitis. METHODS Seventeen skull-base and intracranial lesions were dilated with a microballoon angioplasty catheter. RESULTS Initially, 16 of the 17 stenoses showed improvement at angiography. Moderate residual stenosis was found in 2 of 12 atherosclerotic lesions, both ...
متن کاملA single posterior approach for vertebral column resection in adults with severe rigid kyphosis
Abstract Background: Correction of severe kyphosis is a challenging operation in spinal surgery. A two stage operation has been commonly used: anterior release and decompression followed by posterior correction and fusion. We describe the posterior vertebral osteotomy technique for correction of severe and rigid kyphosis through posterior-only approach. Methods: Twelve patients (six male and s...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملThe value of myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc-99m MIBI for the prediction of perfusion improvement after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Introduction: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. Lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. Introduction of a noninvasive metho...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF THE RESULTS OF SURGICAL AND MEDICAL TREATMENT IN 16 PATIENTS WITH VERTIGO SECONDARY TO CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS
ABSTRACT Background: In patients with cervical spondylosis, cord compression and impingement of cord vessels as well as the vertebral artery may be accompanied by vertigo. We evaluated improvement of vertigo in these patients after surgical and medical treatment. Methods: In this prospective study we reviewed 16 patients with vertigo suspected of cervical spondylosis, admitted to our hospital ...
